BruceH Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 Robert Silverberg's "Dying Inside" is one of my all time favorite books. Same here. I thought it didn't really get the recognition it deserved when it was first published. Though it seems to be one of those that slowly gain in stature over the years and decades. (Though I have to admit, I haven't reread the novel since, oh, about 1977 or so, and perhaps have been a little afraid to. Don't want to tarnish those fond memories.) Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 I'm sure the fault is mine, not his, but I never enjoyed Silverberg's writing at all. I suppose I should give it another try. Quote

"Dying Inside" is on a whole 'nother level for Silverberg. I'm not sure how apt the comparison is, but I've always likened it to Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint." Quote
